Athletic Club thrashed Atlético de Madrid 3-0 at the San Mamés Stadium, achieving an emphatic victory that ended the colchoneros' unbeaten run this season. The match was completely dominated by the home side, who managed to overwhelm their opponents from the start.
All the goals came in the second half. Nico Williams and Robert Navarro scored right at the beginning of the second period, taking advantage of the Basque side's peak pressure moment. In stoppage time, Oihan Sancet sealed the final score at the 90th minute, clinching a convincing victory that rewarded the courage and boldness of the team coached by Edin Terzic.
Atlético de Madrid, who until then had not lost a single game this season, showed a completely different image from usual. Diego Simeone's side struggled greatly with Athletic's intensity and practically failed to create any danger, showing little ability to respond to the opponent's pressure.
With this result, Atlético suffered their first defeat of the season, while Athletic reinforced their strength at home, at their San Mamés Stadium, where they achieved an important and emphatic victory against one of the main title contenders.
